<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> My mother has Parkinson's and she's also coeliac, but has been eating gluten all of her life under the mistaken belief that CD was a childhood disease from which she recovered. (She was born in the 1930's and at that time, the only way they knew to treat it was to feed her mashed bananas, which was all she ate for a year or two.) Anyway, I'm wondering if there's a connection between CD and Parkinson's, because I am concerned about the likelihood of my having Parkinson's. (I have CD, but I'm gluten-free.) Carolyn
